Tap. Pours mostly clear, deep reddish hazel, small creamy tan head, lasting with good lacing. Aroma of malty, roast, caramel, a bit nutty. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter. Medium body. More asking to an Irish red than an Amber ale.

Draft at the Rare Barrel taproom. Pours clear ruby with a frothy, tan head. The nose holds toasted bread, grains, pine and ripening orange. Light to medium sweet flavour with more toasty bread, light earthy bitterness, pine, berries, citrus. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more toasted, bready malts, biscuits, light toffee, earthy and leafy hops. Not bad. Pretty tasty.

On draught. Rich, malty caramel is the dominate aspect. Very pretty mahogany with minimal tan head. Taste is rich malt with a moderate high late bitterness that is slightly displaced.

Very nice looking beer, clear and nice carbonation. A little too bitter for an amber for my tastes, and slightly off here. But decent all around, nothing special. Tried again at Jaspers SF, similar impression, not very complex, however it was very cloudy this time.

N�rnberg red ale the can says. N�rnberg is in mittelfranken, not westfalia. Reddish-brown. Thin head. Aroma is nutty, toasty with some caramel balance and a touch if fruitiness. Quite appetizing. Has a sweet front with fruity and slightly caramel complexity. Full body and nice balance, very enjoyable, a superior amber-brown ale. Would like to know the back story, if there is one.

Can from Whole Foods in Folsom, CA. Pours dark ruddy copper with a slight tan head. Aroma of somewhat roasty malt. Sort of amberish. Med minus body. Flavor is that sweetish lightly roasty amber thing. Maybe a very slight hint of chocolate. Sadly it does fit the style.
